Connecting and sharing learnings across Legacy Health Partners
Medical Director, Legacy Health Partners
In LHP’s January newsletter I mentioned our focus this year for supporting provider partners in achieving their goals and delivering the highest quality of care to our patients. We continue strengthening our partnerships with our provider members and their clinic staff. I recently had the opportunity to visit the clinics who won an LHP quality award to recognize and celebrate with their staff and learn more about what made the projects successful.

I was impressed by the advice that teams across adult and pediatric primary care, as well as adult specialty clinics, shared to make a quality project successful. One common element was to recognize that it is the staff who do the heavy lifting and the providers who need to be supporting leaders. I hope to share more tips and lessons learned soon, so we can improve collaboration and outcomes across the entire LHP network.
Consulting services for LHP medical practices
We understand the challenges and opportunities facing healthcare providers today, and LHP is here to support you every step of the way. One of the key benefits of being a physician partner is access to our Quality & Performance Improvement team. Our team members are experienced in PCPCH (Patient-Centered Primary Care Home) medical home attestation, creating and implementing quality improvement projects, supplemental data submission, and workflow consultations. We offer complimentary consultations to help you navigate these processes and optimize your practice for success.
Clinical Guidelines
We are also committed to making our collection of recently updated clinical guidelines more readily available to providers for ease of access. We understand the importance of evidence-based medicine and want to ensure that our providers have the tools and resources they need to deliver the best possible care to their patients.
Looking Ahead
As we move through 2024, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and committed to supporting our physician and advanced practice provider (APP) partners in achieving their goals. Together, we can continue to innovate, collaborate, and deliver exceptional care to our patients. Thank you for your partnership and dedication to improving healthcare in our community.
Re-cap of "Caught in Crisis: Advanced Psychiatric Management for Frontline Providers"
One of the many benefits of being an LHP member is being able to attend these events and earn CME credit. New this year – by attending these events or watching the recording, you can also get credit for completing a LHP Learning Module, which is a provider measure for 2024.
If you missed this session or want to review it again, the full recording is now available on the LHP Team Site. Here are the instructions for claiming your CME credit after watching the full recording.
Our next clinical collaboration series will take place in May and will focus on treating obesity as a chronic disease. Stay tuned for registration information – you won’t want to miss out!
Evidence-based resources available: Clinical Collaboration Guidelines
LHP’s clinical collaboration guidelines are one of many resources available to you as a member of the LHP network. These clinical guidelines help providers with evidence-based medicine to deliver the right service to the right patient at the right time. The subject matter experts who helped compile these guides have recently reviewed and made updates so they remain clinically relevant.

Announcements, deadlines, and reminders
- Thank you to all the adult primary care practices who recently submitted supplemental clinical data from your electronic health record to support 2023 measure results. Our teams are uploading nearly 4,000 additional data points to contribute to measure outcomes and quality scores. Once we have finalized 2023 performance, LHP’s performance dashboards and reporting for 2024 will display in Power BI. We will notify the network soon once the current year’s data is available.
- Have any performance measures to suggest? We want to hear your ideas on performance measures we should consider for the future of LHP. Download this form to propose a measure. We will accept suggestions throughout the year, but those submitted by the end of April have the best chance of being considered for the 2025 program since we are already at work planning for next year.
- We are developing this year’s Clinical Integration Education video and Learning Module curriculum which will launch this spring. Videos will be posted in LHP’s video library and will not require a password to access. LHP is expanding the learning options that satisfy learning module credit to include events from LHP’s clinical collaboration series and Legacy’s health equity series in 2024. We look forward to sharing this content with you this year!
- Single sign-on access is now available for Legacy Health staff who participate in CME activities provided by Legacy Health. Click here for complete details including tips for success. Single sign-on access does not replace the process LHP members follow to sign in and get credit for LHP education activities.
- Submit some kudos below if you have had a positive experience with another LHP member or want to recognize someone on your staff who goes the extra mile day-to-day. When praise and achievements are submitted, they will be featured in LHP communications for network recognition and celebration.
